NASHVILLE, TENN, September O.
Ten thousand psople saw 100000
worth OF property burn on the public
square today at IL o'clock. The FIRE
originated In the cellar Of one Of Tim.
othy Brothers stores, dry goods and
notions, Nos. 90 and 80. The origin is
not known exactly, but one OF the
firm stated that II was probably due
to a gas Jet igniting pile OF blankets.
Clerks were in the cellar filling an Or
der for blankets from one Of the Union
street branch stores Of the arm, and
as The apartment was dark the gas was
lighted. II was surmlsed that in
twisting jet or throwing the match
away the blankets were ignited. The
frat intimation OF fire was smoke roll
ing upward to the main floor through
a stairway. A clerk shouted to Mr..
Timothy who was standing In
the front door, that the store
was on fire. He looked back,
saw the smoke and ran across
the street to the engine house and
gave the alarm. All OF the engines re-
sponded, and we're soon hard at work.
The wind veered from south TO north
and the flames rapidly communicated
from No. 20 to No. 30. In spite OF all
the fremen could do both buildings
were In few moments wrapped in
flames. Ladders were raised 10 the
second story windows, and the Ere
men stood at their posts in the fierce
glare and fought manfully, but all 10
no avail. When the flames tapped
from No, 20 TO the hardware store OF
Macy & Co., next door, and ran along
the heavy cornice II was feared they
had be fled the department and would
now run their fuinous advance, but
they were halted and the big
warehouse establishment saved. But
considerable stock was removed be-
fore Il wss seen that the building was
saved. The firm were losers several
hundred dollars, but their escape from
total loes was so narrow that they will
scarcely remember the trifing amount
to which they were damaged. The
Porter building, q large, four story
structure facing on Cedar street,
caught fire, but the flames were soon
extlnguished, though ths stock OF l..
Lusky < 90. wa, somewhat damaged
by water. The flames were confined
TO the establishment OF the Timothy
Brothers. Tho havoc thsTo was great.
This buildings are almost total loss,
aud over half the stock, which was
estimated at slS5, 900, was burned and
the remainder badly damaged. The
loss will not fall much short OF $685.
900. The total insurance was $50, $50.

Memphis did not try to play this after
noon. and the home team also played
of, the result being most disgusting
exhibition. As usual, the trouble was
the umpire. The visitors commenced
TO kick at the very first ball pitched.
At the end Of the frat inning they
started to leave the grounds, but final
ly returned and played out the game
In @ farcicsl kind Of way. The umpire
was little of at times in calling balls
and strikes, bu, his work on the whole
was tolerably isir. Even II 1t was as
rotten as the visitors claimed it to have
been, 1t Is thought here that that
would not have justified them In play
ing the way they did. Chsrleston's
two runs were earned in the fourth in
ming, and aiter that time neither side
made any attempt to play. Another
such exhibition viii drive everybody

the late German military governor of
Alsace, who hated all that was French,
that he once at public dinner engaged
in dispute with a French diplomat who
